Job description

About Voodoo

Founded in 2013, Voodoo is a tech company that creates mobile games and apps with a mission to entertain the world. Gathering 1,000 employees, 7 billion downloads, $1b+ revenues and over 200 million active users, Voodoo is the #3 mobile publisher worldwide in terms of downloads after Google and Meta. Our portfolio includes chart-topping games like Mob Control and Block Jam, alongside popular apps such as BeReal and Wizz.

Role

SILs are Voodoo's internal consulting team, reporting to the Chief of Staff. You are dropped into the company's most important operational problems with a simple mandate: fix them. You work hands-on with leaders across gaming, apps, growth, and central functions — with the access of an insider and the toolkit of a top consultant.

What you will do

Improve internal processes — diagnose broken or slow processes, redesign them, and implement the fix (not just recommend it).
Help leaders improve their operations — embed with studio, publishing, or functional leaders to raise the performance of their teams: KPIs, organization, tooling, ways of working.
Run tactical projects — scoped 4–12 week projects: market analysis, cost reviews, post-mortems, integration work, tooling rollouts.
Fix internal issues of many types — ambiguous, cross-team problems nobody owns; you own them until they're solved.

What we're looking for

3–6 years at a top strategy consulting firm (MBB, Oliver Wyman, Roland Berger, Kearney, Advancy, EY-Parthenon), in M&A/transaction services, or in a high-performing BizOps/strategy team of a scale-up.
Structured problem-solver with strong analytics (advanced Excel/Sheets; SQL a strong plus).
Doer mentality: implements solutions, works autonomously, handles several workstreams.
Strong interpersonal skills — able to win the trust of leaders quickly without formal authority.
Top academic background (business or engineering).
Fluent English (French is a plus).
Passion for games/consumer apps a plus.

What we offer

Consultant-style variety with operator-style impact — and no travel or sales.
Direct exposure to Voodoo's leadership; fast track to operational leadership roles internally.
Competitive package.
